Multimodality imaging assessment of caseous mitral annular calcification in a hemodialysis patient undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation: A case report [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Caseous mitral annular calcification (CMAC) is a rare morphological variant of mitral annular calcification. On echocardiography, it often appears as a mass-like echogenic lesion and may be easily misdiagnosed as an intracardiac thrombus or tumor, posing
